----Palacio Salvo / SalvoPalace - Montevideo, Uruguay (HD)
El Palacio Salvo es un edificio emblemático de la ciudad de Montevideo. Fue edificado al impulso de los hermanos empresarios Ángel, José y Lorenzo Salvo; diseñado por el arquitecto italiano Mario Palanti e inaugurado el 12 de octubre de 1928. Con sus 95 metros y 27 plantas, fue la segunda torre más alta de Sudamérica de 1928 hasta 1935 cuando fue desplazado del segundo al tercer puesto sudamericano por el Kavanagh de Buenos Aires. Actualmente continúa siendo uno de los edificios más altos de la ciudad. Es Monumento Histórico Nacional desde 1996. Este edificio tiene su hermano gemelo en estilo ecléctico, construido por el mismo arquitecto en Buenos Aires, el Palacio Barolo.
Palacio Salvo is a building in Montevideo, Uruguay, located at the intersection of 18 de Julio Avenue and Plaza Independencia. It was designed by the architect Mario Palanti, an Italian immigrant living in Buenos Aires, who used a similar design for his Palacio Barolo in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Finished in 1928, Palacio Salvo stands 100 m (330 ft) high with the antenna included. The site was bought by the Salvo brothers for 650,000 Uruguayan pesos. It was built on the site where the Confiteria La Giralda was once located, a place renowned for being where Gerardo Matos Rodríguez wrote his tango La Cumparsita in 1917. The original specifications, describing the details of the construction, describe a lighthouse at the top of the building, which was replaced by a set of antennas. The specifications stated “on the top part of the tower a lighthouse will be placed made by Salmoiraghi of Italy, with a parabolic mirror of 920 mm (36 in), reaching approximately 100 km (62 mi), and a rotating 100 amp lamp.” The building was originally intended to be a hotel, but this plan didn't work out, and it has since been occupied by a mixture of offices and private residences. The building has a height of 95 m (312 ft). While the set of antennas was at its top, its total height was 100 m (330 ft). The antennas were permanently removed in November 2012.

Palacio Barolo

Palacio Barolo is a landmark office building, located at 1370 Avenida de Mayo, in the neighborhood of Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina. When it was built it was the tallest building in the city and South America. Its twin brother, Palacio Salvo, is a building designed and erected in Eclectic style, but of greater height, built by the same architect in Montevideo.

This building was declared a national historic monument in 1997. Currently, the building has several travel agencies, a Spanish school for foreigners, a store that sells clothes for tango, offices and studios of architects, accountants, lawyers, etc.

History

Italian architect Mario Palanti was commissioned to design the building by the empresario Luis Barolo, an Italian immigrant who had arrived in Argentina in 1890 and had made a fortune in knitted fabrics. The basic design, in eclectic style, was conceived simultaneously with one for the Palacio Salvo in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Palacio Barolo was designed in accordance with the cosmology of Dante's Divine Comedy, motivated by the architect's admiration for Alighieri. There are 22 floors, divided into three "sections". The basement and ground floor represent hell, floors 1-14 are the purgatory, and 15-22 represent heaven. The building is 100 meters (330 feet) tall, one meter for each canto of the Divine Comedy. The lighthouse at the top of the building can be seen all the way in Montevideo, Uruguay. The owner planned to use only 3 floors, and to rent the rest.

The site was bought by the Salvo brothers for 650,000 Uruguayan pesos. It was built on the site where the Confiteria La Giralda was once located, a place renowned for being where Gerardo Matos Rodríguez wrote his tango La Cumparsita in 1917.

The original specifications, describing the details of the construction, describe a lighthouse at the top of the building, which was replaced by a set of antennas. The specifications stated “on the top part of the tower a lighthouse will be placed made by Salmoiraghi of Italy, with a parabolic mirror of 920mm (36in), reaching approximately 100km (62mi), and a rotating 100 amp lamp.”

Guide's give a short explanation about each room and it's significance. You also get to visit the famous balconies overlooking Plaza de Mayo.
Not taking you very far from La Casa Rosada is Manzana de Las Luces, The Square of Enlightenment. This is a whole city block of historical buildings dating back to the 17th century. It was created as a place of learning by Jesuit priests. On a tour of the complex, visitors are taken to the main historical areas, including the former House of Representatives, where many Presidents were sworn in, and also to part of the underground tunnels. The tunnels were built by the Jesuits and once linked the complex with other city institutions and buildings. The tour finishes up at an Antiques and Crafts Market.
Sticking to a tunnel theme you can venture into the bohemian neighbourhood of San Telmo to El Zanjón. This is a restored 19th century mansion with old underground tunnels. The site is linked to the very early days of Buenos Aires' development, making El Zanjón one of the most important archeological sites in the city of Buenos Aires. A tour of El Zanjón offers an in-depth look into the history of Buenos Aires, and how it has changed down the centuries.
Argentina has had a colourful political past and a tour of the impressive 'El Palacio del Congreso' takes you to the heart of local politics. This is the seat of Argentina's NationalSenate located at the end of Avenida de Mayo. Complimentary guided tours of the building generally take place during the week in the late afternoon, except on Wednesdays when the house is in session. On the tour visitors are taken around the main senate rooms and chambers. The entrance to the building tour is on the Hipolito YrigoyenStreet side of the building. Make sure you bring some ID and dress appropriately.
Finally, a tour of the Palacio Barolo Building really is highly recommended. It is located on Avenida de Mayo, the buildings Italian architect, based his design on Dante Alighieri's classic poem, the Devine Comedy. Guided tours of El Palacio Barolo take place during the week. Visitors are taken up up through the building, stopping at different points where guides explain some of the interesting facts about the building and the architecture, that relates to the poem. One of the highlights of the tour is the light house and viewing gallery at the top of the building. Here you can enjoy a a 360 degree view over Buenos Aires.

Palacio Salvo is a building in Montevideo, Uruguay, located at the intersection of 18 de Julio Avenue and Plaza Independencia. It was designed by the architect Mario Palanti, an Italian immigrant living in Buenos Aires, who used a similar design for his Palacio Barolo in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Finished in 1928, Palacio Salvo stands 100 m (330 ft) high with the antenna included. The site was bought by the Salvo brothers for 650,000 Uruguayan pesos. It was built on the site where the Confiteria La Giralda was once located, a place renowned for being where Gerardo Matos Rodríguez wrote his tango La Cumparsita in 1917. The original specifications, describing the details of the construction, describe a lighthouse at the top of the building, which was replaced by a set of antennas. The specifications stated “on the top part of the tower a lighthouse will be placed made by Salmoiraghi of Italy, with a parabolic mirror of 920 mm (36 in), reaching approximately 100 km (62 mi), and a rotating 100 amp lamp.” The building was originally intended to be a hotel, but this plan didn't work out, and it has since been occupied by a mixture of offices and private residences. The building has a height of 95 m (312 ft). While the set of antennas was at its top, its total height was 100 m (330 ft). The antennas were permanently removed in November 2012.

PALACIO BAROLO, CON ROBERTO CAMPBELL.

Palacio Barolo

Palacio Barolo is a landmark office building, located at 1370 Avenida de Mayo, in the neighborhood of Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina. When it was built it was the tallest building in the city and South America. Its twin brother, Palacio Salvo, is a building designed and erected in Eclectic style, but of greater height, built by the same architect in Montevideo.

This building was declared a national historic monument in 1997. Currently, the building has several travel agencies, a Spanish school for foreigners, a store that sells clothes for tango, offices and studios of architects, accountants, lawyers, etc.

History

Italian architect Mario Palanti was commissioned to design the building by the empresario Luis Barolo, an Italian immigrant who had arrived in Argentina in 1890 and had made a fortune in knitted fabrics. The basic design, in eclectic style, was conceived simultaneously with one for the Palacio Salvo in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Palacio Barolo was designed in accordance with the cosmology of Dante's Divine Comedy, motivated by the architect's admiration for Alighieri. There are 22 floors, divided into three "sections". The basement and ground floor represent hell, floors 1-14 are the purgatory, and 15-22 represent heaven. The building is 100 meters (330 feet) tall, one meter for each canto of the Divine Comedy. The lighthouse at the top of the building can be seen all the way in Montevideo, Uruguay. The owner planned to use only 3 floors, and to rent the rest.

There are some restaurants (very few) that, when you walk into the dining room, you realize there is much more to your visit than just food. La Griglia is like that! The dining room is absolutely gorgeous with knockout paintings on the walls. And, I always enjoy the smell of fine Italian food... For my pasta course, I find it hard to resist Forest Mushroom Lasagna, made with Barolo wine and Sherry-Morel mushroom sauce ... .......
